Tymal Mills will return to the team after being rested on Saturday. He is our pick to be the best wicket-taker for Sussex Sharks versus Glamorgan.
Colin Ingram was outstanding on Friday and is a significant contender for Glamorgan’s leading run scorer in this match.
Dan Douthwaite has taken 9 wickets so far in this competition and is our pick to be Glamorgan’s leading wicket-taker against Sussex Sharks.
Sussex Sharks vs Glamorgan Team Preview
Sussex Sharks
The Sussex Sharks enter this match in eighth place in the South Group, trailing only Middlesex after three losses in four games so far in the Vitality Blast 2023. Hampshire Hawks defeated the Sharks by 10 wickets on Saturday night.
Tom Alsop, the third batter, served as the team captain on Saturday because Ravi Bopara was out of the lineup. James Coles, George Garton, and Fynn Hudson-Prentice contributed useful runs in the lower order, and Tom Clark’s 36 runs at the top of the order were quite productive. In this game, Sussex needs runs from the top of the order to have a good total. Without Tymal Mills in the bowling lineup and while defending a total of 144, Sussex Sharks were totally outplayed by Ben McDermott and James Vince, who led the Hawks to a 10-wicket victory. The most efficient bowler was Aristides Karvela, who only gave up 16 runs in 2.5 overs.
Glamorgan
Glamorgan has won two consecutive matches to climb up to third position in the South Group, level on points with Surrey in second and with a game remaining. Only Somerset has so far managed to defeat Glamorgan, who have already defeated Middlesex, Gloucestershire, and the Kent Spitfires.
All of Glamorgan’s batters have contributed thus far in the season, and if one has a bad day, there are generally a few more ready to fill in. Sam Northeast and Kiran Carlson did not participate in the victory over the Kent Spitfires on Friday, but Eddie Byrom (43), Colin Ingram (63 not out), and Chris Cooke (46 not out) all made significant contributions with the bat. Glamorgan’s bowlers had a difficult evening on Friday as Kent Spitfires posted 189-6 from their 20 overs. With statistics of 2-25, Australian Peter Hatzoglou stood out, as he shared two wickets with Dan Douthwaite and Prem Sisodiya.
Tom Alsop (c), Michael Burgess (wk), Tom Haines, Tom Clark, Danial Ibrahim, Shadab Khan, James Coles, Fynn Hudson-Prentice, George Garton, Aristides Karvelas, and Henry Crocombe.
